The Illinois Center for Surrogacy is a surrogacy program operated as a division of Chicago IVF, a fertility practice, and is based in Skokie, Illinois. It was founded in 2017 by Dr. Joel Brasch, who serves as its Medical Director. Because it combines a fertility center with surrogacy coordination, it describes itself as a hybrid rather than a stand-alone agency, pairing in-house physician and IVF care with the non-medical side of a surrogacy journey.
According to the agency, its program is all-inclusive: staff members it calls "surrogacy advocates" guide intended parents and gestational carriers through the steps of the process, while medical treatment is handled within the affiliated fertility practice. The agency says it offers free initial consultations and flat, all-inclusive financial packages. An egg donor program is also offered.
The program works with intended parents in Chicago and elsewhere in Illinois, as well as clients from other states and other countries. It states that it serves LGBTQ+ intended parents and single people pursuing parenthood, alongside couples.
The organization is for-profit and operates from a single office. It has a Better Business Bureau profile but is not BBB accredited; further details on accreditation, fees and eligibility appear in the sections below.
